An Unread Letter

In hopes of resolving some of our disputes, I wrote a letter to Nehemia Gordon with several morphological issues related to the Tetragrammaton as it is found in the manuscripts. Mr. Gordon returned my mail with his intentions of having no contact with me because I suggested on CARM that, given the obviousness of the problems with his position, I am driven to conclude that he maintains his positions because of the following that he has amassed (he’s married to the position now) and that he depends on the income from the books and speaking engagements that he sells those who have started to follow him. Because of this, I will not have any chance to engage Mr. Gordon and sway him from this Yehovah nonsense.
